When you guys turn in your laptops do you use anything special to format the drives? I imagine most people here give some thought to security when you have to turn in hard drives. Or maybe I'm paranoid

You can go the extra mile and write 0s and 1s then reinstalling the OS if you'd like. I personally used my own SSD so I just swapped back to the drive when sending it back and just used an image they gave me. For this laptop if I'm going to upgrade it I'll just swap back to the drive they gave me and take out the ones I added.

They are brand new. I just received my trade-in laptop and all seals are there and the notebook is indeed new. After not having a laptop for a few weeks, I must say that i didn't really miss it. The main reason I did the trade in (besides a newer GPU) was because my previous laptop had dead/stuck pixels that weren't covered under warranty.

Just a guess, but you probably shouldn't pop into random threads to advertise.
